Xinyan asked and then remembered who Zhai Songyuan was.
Isnât he the one who got married just a few days after them, works in the government motorcade, and married Song Bingjing?
She had heard He Jinxuan mention before that Zhai Songyuanâs brother-in-law works in a government department and arranged for him to join the government motorcadeâs auto repair team.
Zhai Songyuanâs brother-in-lawâs motorcycle?
Xinyan felt a wave of lingering fear. If she hadnât refused, and He Jinxuan lent the motorcycle out of face, the consequences would have been unimaginable: "Whatâs their situation now?"
Shen Shichang sighed, "This matter doesnât look good. They not only fell themselves but also hit a guy on a bicycle. I heard the manâs leg is badly hurt and might even need amputation."
At this moment, someone outside the gate approached, "You all donât know yet, this isnât just about the person who got hit. The son-in-law of the Zhai family came over in a fury."
He Jinxuan curiously asked, "What happened?"
The person looked gossipy, "That motorcycle was borrowed by Zhai Songyuan to ride. Last night, Vice Captain Lu and his wife went to borrow it, praised Zhai Songyuan a lot, and in a moment of excitement, he lent it out.
But that motorcycle wasnât even his brother-in-lawâs. It belonged to an old classmate of his brother-in-law who was going south and was worried about leaving it at home, so he left it with his brother-in-law for safekeeping.
Now itâs broken. Fixing the bike is a small matter, but hitting someone will surely bring bad luck. His brother-in-law is really upset."
Xinyan felt a wave of sighs. What a mess this is?
Just watch, thereâs bound to be a lot of wrangling over this.
Just then, someone else came over, "Captain He, did Vice Captain Luâs couple try to borrow a motorcycle from you last night as well?"
He Jinxuan knew this couldnât be hidden, "Yes, but my wife needs it every day, so we didnât agree."
The person slapped their thigh, "Luckily, you didnât lend it out. If you got involved in this, that would be infuriating."
"Indeed, I heard the family of the injured person almost beat the Lu couple, but they were also injured, so people stopped them."
For a moment, the entire residential compound was abuzz discussing the incident.
Everyone was lamenting that Fu Guangying, all for a moment of show, got into such a huge mess. Not only did both of them get injured, they also injured someone else, and that motorcycle wasnât cheap. After such an incident, itâs likely people wouldnât want a bike involved in an accident.
Furthermore, this one motorcycle dragged so many people into trouble. This is going to be a real hassle.
He Jinxuan worried Xinyan might be hungry, so after sending the gossipy people away, he said, "Go sit down, Iâll bring your meal to you."
Xinyan was indeed hungry, since last night was quite physically exhausting, and obediently sat down there.
When she came to her senses and saw the clothes hanging on the rack to dry, her face flushed again.
Just then, He Jinxuan brought over the meal, and Xinyan, with a red face, said, "From now on, Iâll wash my own clothes."
He Jinxuan glanced over there, "As long as Iâm around, Iâll take care of those things."
Xinyan wanted to say something, but He Jinxuan leaned over, "I like that place a lot. Since I helped you take them off, I should also clean them for you. No need to be shy, my dear."
Xinyan didnât expect the usually serious person to dare say anything without fear of being overheard. It was so embarrassing that she directly retorted, "Get lost."
He Jinxuan knew if he teased anymore, his wife would truly be angry, so he wisely slipped away, "You eat, Iâll tidy up the kitchen, and later accompany you to Grandpa Jiaoâs place to help him with treatment."
Seeing him swiftly leave, Xinyan then patted her burning face.
